Welcome to Auburn Woods in Venice, where privacy and convenience blend effortlessly in this beautifully maintained detached villa. Tucked away on a premium oversized lot backing to tranquil preserve woods, this residence enjoys one of the most private settings in the community — a rare sense of space and serenity that is increasingly hard to find. A charming front courtyard welcomes you home, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee before stepping inside. With approximately 1,716 square feet of living space — the largest villa model in Auburn Woods — this desirable two-bedroom plus den home features an open split floor plan designed for both comfort and connection. The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly, ideal for everyday living or hosting friends and family. The oversized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with dual sinks and a walk-in shower in the en-suite bath, while the den provides flexible space for a home office, hobby room, or additional guest area. Thoughtful upgrades add both style and peace of mind, including a newer roof (2023), impact windows, plantation shutters, stainless steel appliances, tile flooring throughout most of the home, and Pergo flooring in both bedrooms. At the back of the home, a bright Florida room with sun shades extends your living space year-round and opens to the cutest paver patio — a private outdoor escape perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply relaxing while enjoying peaceful preserve views and Florida’s natural beauty. Auburn Woods offers maintenance-free living with a heated community pool and clubhouse just steps away. Detached villas on oversized parcels are a true rarity in Venice, making this property a special opportunity. Ideally located just 10 minutes from Historic Downtown Venice and Venice beaches, with convenient access to shopping, dining, major routes, and everyday essentials including Costco, Sprouts, Aldi, Detwiler’s, Publix, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital. The property may be purchased partially furnished at the right price, or furnishings can be negotiated separately between buyer and seller. Select personal items are excluded. This is more than a villa — it is a private retreat in the heart of Venice, offering comfort, charm, and convenience in equal measure.
